I had the chance a few years back to drive a Benz the Kleemann guys had
worked over. I was shooting some pictures for the short lived Benz
enthusiast magazine called Benzo. Amazing car. I was pretty raw to the auto
world back then (still am!), and was driving an '86 4000cs at the time. All
of a sudden I understood what raw power was. Pretty sick stuff that they've
got going on.
